Hi Dean, I would be interested in hearing more about the Zope3-based social collaboration system that you have developed. Social networking functionality is a common request among the NGOs with whom we work. Is the code available in a public repository somewhere?
Also, are you familiar with the Pinax project, an open source collection of add-ons for Django for building social networking sites. http://www.pinaxproject.com thanks, Nate On Mar 2, 6:15 am, Dean Powers <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > We've developed a new Zope3 based social collaboration system with > blogs, forums, audio/video, member profiles and lots of other > interesting features. > > We'd be happy to make it available to you for your project.
